Intended Use
LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus: The LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus assay uses chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) technology for the qualitative determination of IgG and IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum and plasma (K2-EDTA, Li-heparin) samples. This assay is intended for use on samples from patients with signs and symptoms that are consistent with Lyme disease. Positive or equivocal results should be supplemented by testing with a standardized Western blot procedure. Positive supplemental results provide evidence of exposure to B. burgdorferi and can be used to support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease. Negative results by LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus assay should not be used to exclude Lyme disease. The test has to be performed on the LIAISON® XL Analyzer. The LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus Control Set: The LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus Control Set is intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus assay. The performance characteristics of LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus Control Set have not been established for any other assays or instrument platforms different from the LIAISON® XL.
Device Description
The method for qualitative determination of IgG and IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). All assay steps (with the exception of magnetic particle resuspension) and incubations are performed by the Analyzer. The principal components of the test are magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with recombinant Borrelia antigens and a conjugate reagent containing two mouse monoclonal antibodies (anti- human IgG and anti-human IgM) linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation, antigen-specific antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls bind to the solid phase. During the second incubation, the conjuqates react with Borrelia burgdorferi IgG and IgM antibodies captured by the solid phase. Unbound material is removed with a wash cycle following incubations. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU) and is indicative of the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls.

Explanation: This device is an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used for the qualitative determination of antibodies to B. burgdorferi, which aids in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. It does not directly treat or prevent a disease.

Yes

The LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus assay is intended for the qualitative determination of IgG and IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum and plasma for patients with signs and symptoms consistent with Lyme disease. This information is used to support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) that involves physical components like magnetic particles, reagents, and is performed on a specific hardware analyzer (LIAISON® XL Analyzer). This is not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is for the "qualitative determination of IgG and IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum and plasma...". This indicates that the device is used to test samples taken from the human body (in vitro) to provide information about a person's health status (diagnostic).
  • Device Description: The description details a laboratory-based assay (chemiluminescence immunoassay) performed on a specific analyzer (LIAISON® XL Analyzer) using biological samples (serum and plasma). This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies conducted on human samples (serum and plasma) to evaluate the device's ability to detect Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies and compare its performance to a predicate device and reference classifications. This is a requirement for demonstrating the analytical and clinical performance of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device" (K113397; Zeus ELISA Borrelia VIsE1/pepC10 IgG/IgM Test System) is a strong indicator that this device is being submitted for regulatory review as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the regulatory process for new IVDs.

All of these elements align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

KIT DESCRIPTION:

The method for qualitative determination of IgG and IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). All assay steps (with the exception of magnetic particle resuspension) and incubations are performed by the Analyzer. The principal components of the test are magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with recombinant Borrelia antigens and a conjugate reagent containing two mouse monoclonal antibodies (anti- human IgG and anti-human IgM) linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation, antigen-specific antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls bind to the solid phase. During the second incubation, the conjuqates react with Borrelia burgdorferi IgG and IgM antibodies captured by the solid phase. Unbound material is removed with a wash cycle following incubations. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU) and is indicative of the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls.

15.4 REPRODUCIBILITY STUDY

A five (5) day precision/reproducibility study was performed internally at DiaSorin Inc. and at two (2) external U.S. laboratories with one (1) lot of LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus assay. The study was performed for 5 days, 2 runs/day, and 3 replicates/run. Each day, two operators, at each testing site performed the testing for a total of 30 replicates at each site. CLSI document EP15-A3 was consulted in the preparation of the testing protocol.

15.7 Matrix Equivalence Study

Thirty-two (32) matched patient sets of serum, SST serum, K2-EDTA plasma and lithium heparin plasma samples were tested to determine if these sample types provide equivalent results. Sample regression analysis was done by Passing and Bablok method. All sample types met acceptance criteria for use in the LIAISON® Lyme Total Antibody Plus assay. A summary of the results is shown in the following table.

Sample Equivalence Results:
